I just finished a fabulous Skype conversation. :) Don't you love having a delicious chat with a good and likeminded friend? I do...

Anyways, we were talking about our trials, and different difficulties we were going through, and laughed and encouraged each other to keep going, sympathizing and empathizing where necessary. And as we concluded, she said, "I'll be praying for you!" and I thought, "wow, I feel so happy to know that!"...

Its amazing to me to see what wonders prayers do for my life, not just in the results, but in the action itself. Philippians 4: 6-7 says, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

Peace...What a wonderful word.

I also love Matthew 18: 19-20, “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”

What about you? Does it bring you joy and a sense of contentment after talking with a friend, knowing that they will approach the throne of God with you, together in the same request, for His will to be done?
